NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to their 2024 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, companies are required to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be adopted on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our annual consolidated financial statement disclosures.

(3) Revenue

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our products and services, which is usually when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer’s premises. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The transaction price will include estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Incidental items that are not significant in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. Customer returns only occur if products do not meet the specifications of the contract and are not connected to any repurchase obligations of the Company.

The Company does not have any financing components or significant payment terms as payment occurs shortly after the point of sale. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product is transferred to the customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.

These products are sold principally to the commercial vehicle market primarily through our OEM and aftermarket channels in the European, North American and Asia Pacific regions. Our vision and safety systems are sold principally to the commercial vehicle and off-highway vehicle markets in the European and North American regions.

Stoneridge Brazil. Our Stoneridge Brazil segment primarily serves the South American region and specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services, vehicle security alarms and convenience accessories, in-vehicle audio and infotainment devices, driver information systems and telematics solutions. Stoneridge Brazil sells its products through the aftermarket distribution channel, to factory authorized dealer installers, also referred to as original equipment services and directly to OEMs. In addition, monitoring services and tracking devices are sold directly to corporate customers and individual consumers.

Performance Obligations

For OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers, the Company typically enters into contracts to provide serial production parts that consist of a set of documents including, but not limited to, an award letter, master purchase agreement and master terms and conditions. For each production product, the Company enters into separate purchase orders that contain the product specifications and an agreed-upon price. The performance obligation does not exist until a customer release is received for a specific number of parts. The majority of the parts sold to OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers are customized to the specific customer, with the exception of camera monitoring systems (“CMS”) sold through our aftermarket channel that are common across all customers. The transaction price is equal to the contracted price per part and there is no expectation of material variable consideration in the transaction price. For most customer contracts, the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment at any time prior to when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer; therefore, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a part to the customer. Certain customer contracts contain an enforceable right to payment if the customer terminates the contract for convenience and therefore are recognized over time using the cost to complete input method.

Our aftermarket products are focused on meeting the demand for safety, compliance and entertainment applications. Including products, accessories and replacement parts and are sold primarily to aftermarket distributors in our South American and European markets, as well as direct to aftermarket customers in North America. Aftermarket products have one type of performance obligation, which is the delivery of aftermarket parts and spare parts. For aftermarket customers, the Company typically has standard terms and conditions for all customers. In addition, aftermarket products have alternative use as they can be sold to multiple customers. Revenue for aftermarket part production contracts is recognized at a point in time when the control of the parts transfers to the customer, which is based on the shipping terms. Aftermarket contracts may include variable consideration related to discounts and rebates, which is included in the transaction price upon recognizing the product revenue.

A small portion of the Company’s sales are comprised of monitoring services that include both monitoring devices and fees to individual, corporate, fleet and cargo customers in our Stoneridge Brazil segment. These monitoring service contracts are generally not capable of being distinct and are accounted for as a single performance obligation. We recognize revenue for our monitoring products and services contracts over the life of the contract. There is no variable consideration associated with these contracts. The Company has the right to consideration from a customer in the amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue over time using the practical expedient ASC 606-10-55-18 in the amount the Company has a “right to invoice” rather than selecting an output or input method.

Contract Balances

The Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or capitalized contract acquisition costs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(4) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (using either the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods) or net realizable value. The Company evaluates and adjusts as necessary its excess and obsolescence reserve on a quarterly basis. Excess inventories are quantities of items that exceed anticipated sales or usage for a reasonable period. The Company has guidelines for calculating provisions for excess inventories based on the number of months of inventories on hand compared to anticipated sales or usage. Management uses its judgment to forecast sales or usage and to determine what constitutes a reasonable period. Inventory cost includes material, labor and overhead. Inventories consist of the following:


	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Raw materials	$	128,437	$	142,744
Work-in-progress	8,071		11,907
Finished goods	39,937		33,107
Total inventories, net	$	176,445	$	187,758

Inventory valued using the FIFO method was $162,151 and $176,033 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Inventory valued using the average cost method was $14,294 and $11,725 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(5) Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is cash or a contract that imposes an obligation to deliver or conveys a right to receive cash or another financial instrument. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of debt approximates the carrying value of debt, due to the variable interest rate on our Credit Facility and the maturity of the remaining outstanding debt.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On September 30, 2024, the Company had open Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts. The Company used foreign currency forward contracts solely for hedging and not for speculative purposes during 2024 and 2023. Management believes that its use of these instruments to reduce risk is in the Company’s best interest. The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency transactions are remeasured into the functional currency using translation rates in effect at the time of the transaction with the resulting adjustments included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations within other (income) expense, net. These foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, including the impact of hedging activities, were $(320) and $(1,359) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(646) and $2,099 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company conducts business internationally and, therefore, is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by reducing the effect of such fluctuations on foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, inventory purchases and other foreign currency exposures.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the Mexican peso currency in 2024 and 2023. These forward contracts were executed to hedge forecasted transactions and have been accounted for as cash flow hedges. As such, gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent that hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. Unrealized amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of hedge derivative contracts at each reporting period. The cash flow hedges were highly effective. The effectiveness of the transactions was measured using regression analysis and forecasted future purchases of the currency.

In certain instances, the foreign currency forward contracts may not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedges and, therefore, are marked-to-market with gains and losses recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of other (income) expense, net. At September 30, 2024, all of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts offset a portion of the gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency denominated transactions as follows:

Mexican peso-denominated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts – Cash Flow Hedges

The Company holds Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount at September 30, 2024 of $31,183, which expire ratably on a monthly basis from October 2024 to December 2025. The notional amounts at December 31, 2023 related to Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts were $26,613.

(Unaudited)

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the Mexican peso denominated forward contracts held as of September 30, 2024 and concluded that the hedges were highly effective.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest Rate Risk – Cash Flow Hedge

On February 18, 2020, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) with a notional amount of $50,000 to hedge its exposure to interest payment fluctuations on a portion of its Credit Facility borrowings. The Swap matured on March 10, 2023. The Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest rate obligation under the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Accordingly, the change in fair value of the Swap was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Swap agreement required monthly settlements on the same days that the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement interest payments were due. The Swap's maturity date of March 10, 2023, was before the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement maturity date of June 5, 2024. Under the Swap terms, the Company paid a fixed interest rate and received a floating interest rate based on the one-month LIBOR, with a floor. The critical terms of the Swap were aligned with the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, resulting in no hedge ineffectiveness. The difference between amounts to be received and paid under the Swap were recognized as a component of interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Swap settlements reduced interest expense, net by $290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The notional amounts and fair values of derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities held by the Company are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs used. Fair values estimated using Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Fair values estimated using Level 2 inputs, other than quoted prices, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and include among other things, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active or inactive as well as inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. For forward currency and cross-currency contracts, inputs include forward foreign currency exchange rates. For the interest rate swap, inputs included LIBOR. Fair values estimated using Level 3 inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs used.

The Credit Facility has an accordion feature, which allows the Company to increase the availability by up to $150,000 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the consent of lenders providing the increase in commitments, and also includes a letter of credit subfacility, swing line subfacility and multicurrency subfacility. The Credit Facility has a termination date of November 2, 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either the Base Rate or the SOFR rate, at the Company’s option, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain less than a maximum leverage ratio and more than a minimum interest coverage ratio.

As a result of entering into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company capitalized $1,915 of deferred financing costs and wrote off $309 of previously recorded deferred financing costs during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company also has outstanding letters of credit of $1,571 at September 30, 2024 and $1,586 at December 31, 2023.

Debt

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Stockholm, Sweden (the "Stockholm subsidiary"), has an overdraft credit line that allows overdrafts on the subsidiary’s bank account up to a daily maximum level of 20,000 Swedish krona, or $1,969 and $1,987, at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding on this overdraft credit line. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the subsidiary borrowed and repaid 255,062 Swedish krona, or $25,116. The Stockholm subsidiary has pledged certain of its assets as collateral in order to obtain a guarantee of certain of the Stockholm subsidiary’s obligations to third parties.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Suzhou, China (the “Suzhou subsidiary”), had lines of credit (the “Suzhou credit line”) that matured in August 2024 and allowed up to a maximum borrowing level of 20,000 Chinese yuan, or $2,818 at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023 there was $2,113 in borrowings outstanding on the Suzhou credit line. The Suzhou credit line was included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within current portion of debt. In addition, the Suzhou subsidiary has a bank acceptance draft line of credit which facilitates the extension of trade payable payment terms by 180 days. The bank acceptance draft line of credit allows up to a maximum borrowing level of 60,000 Chinese yuan, or $8,550 and $8,453 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There was $0 and $2,387 utilized on the Suzhou bank acceptance draft line of credit at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Suzhou bank acceptance draft line of credit is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable.

(8) (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share was computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive Common Shares that were outstanding during the periods presented. However, for all periods in which the Company recognized a net loss, the Company did not recognize the effect of the potential dilutive securities as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potential dilutive shares of 237,870 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potential dilutive shares of 244,471 and 238,342 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Weighted-average Common Shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Basic weighted-average Common Shares outstanding	27,617,663	27,483,709	27,585,904	27,428,249
Effect of dilutive shares	—	250,400	—	—
Diluted weighted-average Common Shares outstanding	27,617,663	27,734,109	27,585,904	27,428,249

There were 612,886 and 425,612 performance-based right to receive Common Shares outstanding at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The right to receive Common Shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, to the extent they are not anti-dilutive, based on the number of Common Shares that would be issuable if the end of the quarter were the end of the performance period.

From time to time, we are subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of breach of contracts, product warranties, product liability, patent infringement, regulatory matters and employment-related matters. The Company establishes accruals for matters which it believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

As a result of environmental studies performed at the Company’s former facility located in Sarasota, Florida, the Company became aware of soil and groundwater contamination at the site. The Company engaged an environmental engineering consultant to assess the level of contamination and to develop a remediation and monitoring plan for the site. Soil remediation at the site was completed during the year ended December 31, 2010. A remedial action plan was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and groundwater remediation began in the fourth quarter of 2015. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expense of $157 and $0, respectively, related to groundwater remediation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expense of $157 and $125, respectively, related to groundwater remediation. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company accrued $265 and $143, respectively, related to expected future remediation costs. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $165 and $136, respectively, were recorded as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets while the remaining amounts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities. Costs associated with the recorded liability will be incurred to complete the groundwater remediation and monitoring. The recorded liability is based on assumptions in the remedial action plan as well as estimates for future remediation activities. Although the Company sold the Sarasota facility and related property in December 2011, the liability to remediate the site contamination remains the responsibility of the Company. Due to the ongoing site remediation, the Company is currently required to maintain a $1,489 letter of credit for the benefit of the buyer.

The Company’s Stoneridge Brazil subsidiary has civil, labor and other tax contingencies (excluding income tax) for which the likelihood of loss is deemed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, by the Company’s legal advisors in Brazil. As a result, no provision has been recorded with respect to these contingencies, which amounted to R$43,848 ($8,049) and R$41,681 ($8,609) at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. An unfavorable outcome on these contingencies could result in significant cost to the Company and adversely affect its results of operations and cash flows.

On August 12, 2020, the Brazilian Administrative Counsel for Economic Defense (“CADE”) issued a ruling against Stoneridge Brazil for abuse of dominance and market foreclosure through its prior use of exclusivity provisions in agreements with its distributors. The CADE tribunal imposed a R$7,995 ($1,468) fine which is included in the reasonably possible contingencies noted above. The Company continues to challenge this ruling in Brazilian federal court to reverse this decision by the CADE tribunal.

Long Term Supply Commitment

In 2022, the Company entered into a long term supply agreement, as amended, with a supplier for the purchase of certain electronic semiconductor components through December 31, 2027. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid capacity deposits of $1,000 each in December 2022 and June 2023. The capacity deposits are recognized in prepaid and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized ratably over the life of the purchase commitment. This long term supply agreement requires the Company to purchase minimum annual volumes while requiring the supplier to sell these components at a fixed price. The Company purchased $1,840 and $1,252 of these components during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2,662 and $4,579 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company is required to purchase $3,914, $10,764, $10,764 and $3,914 of these components in each of the years 2024 through 2027, respectively.

Product Warranty and Recall

Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on products sold as of the balance sheet dates. These accruals are based on several factors including past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations. Our estimate is based on historical trends of units sold and claim payment amounts, combined with our current understanding of the status of existing claims, forecasts of the resolution of existing claims, expected future claims on products sold and commercial discussions with our customers. The key factors in our estimate are the warranty period and the customer source. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued. The current portion of the product warranty and recall reserve is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Product warranty and recall reserve included $9,154 and $7,228 of a long-term liability at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included as a component of other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(Unaudited)

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company received a demand for arbitration from one of our customers seeking recovery for warranty claims related to past sales of PM sensor products, a product line we exited in 2019. In March 2024, pursuant to the arbitration process, the customer submitted a formal statement of claim notification for 29,340 euro ($32,669). In May 2024, the Company responded with a formal statement of defense denying responsibility for the claim. Based on our review of the technical merits and specific claims as well as prior discussions with the customer, we believe these warranty claims lack merit and are significantly overstated. While no assurances can be made as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, or any other future claims, we do not currently believe a material loss is probable.

The following provides a reconciliation of changes in product warranty and recall reserve liability:


Nine months ended September 30,	2024		2023
Product warranty and recall reserve at beginning of period	$	21,610	$	13,477
Accruals for warranties established during period	13,789		10,521
Aggregate changes in pre-existing liabilities due to claim developments	416		579

(12) Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a benefit cannot be realized are excluded.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense of $3,413 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate of (93.3)% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, income tax expense of $2,270 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions as well as tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 51.1% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to U.S. taxes on foreign earnings and non-deductible expenses offset by the impact of tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions and tax credits and incentives.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense of $2,987 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate of (40.2)% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, offset by U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, income tax expense of $3,049 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions as well as tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of (59.1)% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to U.S. taxes on foreign earnings and non-deductible expenses offset by the impact of tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions and tax credits and incentives.

The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) implemented a 15% global corporate minimum tax ("Pillar Two") to ensure that large multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax in the countries they operate. During 2023, many countries took steps to incorporate Pillar Two into their domestic laws. In 2024, we do not expect a material change to our income tax provision in connection with Pillar Two. As additional jurisdictions implement this legislation, our effective tax rate and cash tax payments could increase in future years.

(13) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.

The Company has three reportable segments, Control Devices, Electronics and Stoneridge Brazil, which also represent its operating segments. The Control Devices reportable segment produces actuators, sensors, switches and connectors. The Electronics reportable segment produces driver information systems, vision and safety systems, connectivity and compliance products and electronic control units. The Stoneridge Brazil reportable segment designs and manufactures vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services, vehicle security alarms and convenience accessories, in-vehicle audio and infotainment devices, driver information systems and telematics solutions.

The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. The Company’s management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on revenues from external customers, capital expenditures and operating income. Inter-segment sales are accounted for on terms similar to those to third parties and are eliminated upon consolidation.

The financial information presented below is for our three reportable operating segments and includes adjustments for unallocated corporate costs and intercompany eliminations, where applicable. Such costs and eliminations do not meet the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate costs include various support functions, such as accounting/finance, executive administration, human resources, information technology and legal.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We are a global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic systems, components and modules primarily for the automotive, commercial, off-highway and agricultural vehicle markets.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto and other financial information included elsewhere herein.

Segments

We are organized by products produced and markets served. Under this structure, our operations have been reported using the following segments:

Control Devices. This segment includes results of operations that manufacture actuators, sensors, switches and connectors.

Electronics. This segment includes results of operations from the production of driver information systems, vision and safety systems, connectivity and compliance products and electronic control units.

Stoneridge Brazil. This segment includes results of operations that design and manufacture vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services, vehicle security alarms and convenience accessories, in-vehicle audio and infotainment devices, driver information systems and telematics solutions.

Third Quarter Overview

The Company had net loss of $7.1 million, or $(0.26) per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased by $9.2 million, or $(0.33) per diluted share, from net income of $2.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net loss increased due to lower contribution from lower sales offset by a reduction in SG&A spending and the favorable impact of non-operating foreign currency gains. Net sales decreased by $24.3 million, or 10.2%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily from lower volumes in our North American automotive market for our Control Devices segment and lower volumes in our European and North American commercial vehicle and European off-highway markets for our Electronics segment. Gross margin as a percent of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased to 20.8% from 22.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 driven by lower contribution from lower sales offset by favorable sales mix, material cost improvements and a reduction in adverse foreign exchange related material variances.

Our Control Devices segment net sales decreased by 18.1% compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily as a result of decreases in our North American automotive and China commercial vehicle markets. The decrease in our North American automotive market was due to lower customer volumes including electronic and hybrid vehicle platforms and the expected wind down of end-of-life programs. These decreases were offset by sales increases in our China automotive and North American commercial vehicle markets. Segment gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased due to lower contribution from lower sales levels. Segment operating income decreased due to lower contribution from lower sales volumes and higher SG&A spending offset by lower D&D spending.

Our Electronics segment net sales decreased by 5.3% compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower sales volumes in our European and North American commercial vehicle markets, partially mitigated by the ramp-up of recently launched programs, including a European MirrorEye OEM program and our next generation tachograph. We also experienced lower sales volume in our European off-highway vehicle market. Additionally, net sales decreased due to lower electronic component spot buy purchases, which are material purchases reimbursed by customers and recorded as both revenue and offsetting material cost. Offsetting these sales decreases was the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. Segment gross margin as a percent of sales decreased compared to the prior year third quarter as lower contribution from lower sales levels was offset by material cost improvements and a reduction in foreign exchange related material variances. Operating income for the segment decreased compared to the third quarter of 2023 because of lower contribution from lower sales levels and higher D&D because of lower customer reimbursements offset by lower SG&A from 2023 business realignment costs.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment net sales decreased by 6.7% compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily from unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.7 million, and lower monitoring service fees that were offset by higher OEM and aftermarket product sales. Operating income decreased due to the adverse impact of U.S. dollar denominated material purchases and unfavorable sales mix from lower monitoring service fees offset by lower SG&A spending.

Table of Contents

In the third quarter of 2024, SG&A expenses decreased by $1.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 driven primarily by lower incentive compensation, business realignment costs and professional services partially offset by higher wages and self-insured medical costs.

In the third quarter of 2024, D&D costs decreased by $0.2 million compared to the prior year third quarter from reduced launch activities that resulted in lower wages and consulting being mostly offset by lower customer reimbursements in our Electronics and Control Devices segments.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents balances primarily held at our foreign locations of $54.1 million and $40.8 million, respectively, and we had $196.3 million and $189.3 million, respectively, in borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facility. The 2024 increase in cash and cash equivalents was mostly due to cash generated from operating activities including a reduction in accounts receivable and inventory balances.

Outlook

The Company believes that focusing on products that address industry megatrends has had and will continue to have a positive effect on both our top-line growth and underlying margins. Expanding on our existing products and technology platforms with advanced capabilities, applications and data services is core to our long-term strategy. For example, the Company is aligned with platforms likely to perform well against overall market dynamics including light-trucks, SUVs and crossover vehicles and our continued focus on safety, vehicle intelligence and connectivity based products, such as our ongoing launches of our OEM MirrorEye® programs in North America and Europe as well as our next generation tachograph in Europe. In addition, we are partnering with an OEM to develop advanced system capabilities based on data services, software and AI in bus applications.

Based on IHS Market production forecasts, the North American automotive market is expected to slightly decrease from 15.6 million units in 2023 to 15.5 million units in 2024 and then to 15.3 million units in 2025. In our Control Devices segment, we remain focused on drivetrain agnostic technologies to drive new business awards as the market continues to evolve. This strategy is highlighted by our recent new business award for a leak detection module product which provides further global opportunities primarily for hybrid vehicle applications, a market that we expect to continue to grow, and is also applicable to traditional powertrain vehicles. We continue to focus on operational excellence and enterprise-wide cost reduction, including material cost reduction plans, to continue to drive margin improvement going-forward.

Based on IHS Market production forecasts, in 2025 the European and North American commercial vehicle end market volumes are forecasted to increase 10.0% and 4.4%, respectively. Over the long-term, we expect our Electronics’ segment sales to outperform forecasted changes in production volumes due to strong demand for our existing products and the impact of ongoing launches of our OEM MirrorEye programs in North America and Europe as well as our next generation tachograph in Europe. During 2024, sales related to our recent MirrorEye OEM program launch have been lower than anticipated, however we expect continued growth in MirrorEye as we launch new OEM programs in both North America and Europe and our equipment becomes standard on key truck platforms for existing OEM programs.

In our Electronics segment recovery from customers related to spot buys of materials purchased by the Company on behalf of those customers, which is recognized as revenue and material costs, increased net sales by $14.6 million for the full year 2023. As a result of supply chains normalizing and material availability improving, the Company did not incur any spot buy material purchases in the first nine months of 2024 and does not expect to incur additional spot buy material purchases in the future based on current market conditions.

For the remainder of 2024, we expect net D&D spending to remain relatively stable driven by reduced launch activities, and as a result, we expect lower customer reimbursements and capitalization of software development costs. We continue to execute our strategy to optimize our engineering footprint to enhance capabilities and capacity for the most efficient return on our engineering spend including the reorganization of our Solna, Sweden location which resulted in business realignment expense of $1.5 million in 2024.

In October 2024, the International Monetary Fund forecasted the Brazil gross domestic product to grow 2.2% in 2025, a decline from forecasted growth of 3.0% in 2024. We expect our served market channels to remain relatively stable in 2024 based on current market and economic conditions, however our sales of in region OEM products have been lower than expected due to lower customer demand. Stoneridge Brazil continues to focus on growing our OEM capabilities in-region to better support our global customers. We expect this strategy will provide opportunities for future growth and a platform to continue to rotate our local portfolio to more closely align with our global products. In addition, we continue to align our global engineering capabilities and footprint by expanding our Brazilian engineering center.

While we expect continued challenges across our end markets for the remainder of the year and into 2025, we continue to focus on operating performance and enterprise-wide cost reduction. We remain focused on improving cash generation and the reduction of debt through targeted actions to reduce net working capital, particularly our inventory levels, from both the impact of our Electronics segment product launches normalizing and specific inventory reduction actions.

Table of Contents

We expect higher interest expense in 2024 driven by higher outstanding balances on our Credit Facility.

Our future effective tax rate depends on various factors, such as changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles and our jurisdictional mix of earnings. We monitor these factors and the impact on our effective tax rate.

Other Matters

A significant portion of our sales are outside of the United States. These sales are generated by our non-U.S. based operations, and therefore, movements in foreign currency exchange rates can have a significant effect on our results of operations, which are presented in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of our raw materials purchased by our Electronics and Stoneridge Brazil segments are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore movements in foreign currency exchange rates can also have a significant effect on our results of operations. The U.S. Dollar strengthened against the Mexican peso, Brazilian real and Argentine peso in 2024 favorably impacting our reported results.

We regularly evaluate the performance of our businesses and their cost structures, including personnel, and make necessary changes thereto in order to optimize our results. We also evaluate the required skill sets of our personnel and periodically make strategic changes. As a consequence of these actions, we incur severance and resignation related costs that we refer to as business realignment charges. Business realignment costs of $0.3 million and $1.2 million were incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Because of the competitive nature of the markets we serve, we face pricing pressures from our customers in the ordinary course of business. In response to these pricing pressures we have been able to effectively manage our production costs by the combination of lowering certain costs and limiting the increase of others, the net impact of which to date has not been material. However, if we are unable to effectively manage production costs in the future to mitigate future pricing pressures, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our Control Devices segment net sales decreased $16.2 million because of decreases in our North American automotive and China commercial vehicle markets of $21.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The decrease in our North American automotive market was primarily due to lower customer volumes including electronic and hybrid vehicle platforms and the expected wind down of end-of-life programs. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our China automotive, North American commercial vehicle and off highway markets of $3.5 million, $2.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Our Electronics segment net sales decreased $7.2 million because of lower customer production volumes in our European and North American commercial vehicle markets of $1.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, mitigated by the ramp-up of recently launched programs, including a European OEM MirrorEye program and our next generation tachograph. We experienced lower sales volumes in our European off-highway vehicle and agricultural markets of $4.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Net sales also decreased because of the 2023 impact of required electronic component spot buy purchases of $0.9 million. Net sales in the third quarter of 2024 were favorably impacted by euro and Swedish krona foreign currency translation of $2.4 million compared to the prior year quarter.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment net sales decreased $0.9 million from unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.7 million, and lower monitoring service fees that were offset by higher OEM and aftermarket product sales.

Net sales by geographic location are summarized in the following table (in thousands):


Three months ended September 30,	2024				2023				Dollar decrease		Percent decrease
North America	$	109,395	51.1	%	$	126,499	53.1	%	$	(17,104)	(13.5)	%
South America	13,219		6.2		14,168		6.0		(949)		(6.7)	%

Total net sales	$	213,831	100.0	%	$	238,164	100.0	%	$	(24,333)	(10.2)	%

The decrease in North American net sales was mostly attributable to a decrease in sales volume in our automotive market of $21.1 million. The decrease in our North American automotive market was primarily caused by lower customer volumes including electronic and hybrid vehicle platforms and by the expected wind down of end-of-life programs. These decreases were offset by higher sales in our off-highway and commercial vehicle markets of $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The decrease in net sales in South America was from unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.7 million, and lower monitoring service fees that were offset by higher OEM and aftermarket product sales.

The decrease in net sales in Europe and Other was due to decreases in customer production volumes in our China and European commercial vehicle markets of $5.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as well as a decrease in our European off-highway market of $4.5 million. In addition, we experienced a decrease in electronic component spot buys of $0.7 million. These decreases were offset by higher sales in our China automotive market of $3.5 million. Net sales were impacted by a favorable foreign currency translation of $2.6 million.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin. Cost of goods sold decreased compared to the third quarter of 2023 and our gross margin decreased from 22.0% in the third quarter of 2023 to 20.8% in the third quarter of 2024. Our material cost as a percentage of net sales decreased to 57.2% in the third quarter of 2024 from 58.1% in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in material cost percentage was due to favorable product mix and material cost improvements as well as a reduction in foreign exchange related material variances. Overhead as a percentage of net sales was 17.3% and 14.9% for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in overhead as a percentage of sales was attributable to lower sales as overhead spending was consistent with the prior year quarter.

Our Control Devices segment gross margin decreased primarily because of lower contribution from lower sales offset by improved sales mix.

Our Electronics segment gross margin decreased from the prior year third quarter as lower contribution from lower sales levels and higher overhead spending were partially offset by lower direct material from material cost improvements and a reduction in foreign exchange related material variances.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment gross margin decreased primarily because of the adverse impact of U.S. dollar denominated material purchases and unfavorable sales mix from lower monitoring service fees.

Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A expenses decreased by $1.6 million primarily because of lower incentive compensation, business realignment costs and professional services being offset by higher wages and self-insured medical costs.

Table of Contents

Design and Development. D&D costs decreased by $0.2 million from reduced launch activities that resulted in lower wages and consulting being mostly offset by lower customer reimbursements in our Electronics and Control Devices segments.

Our Control Devices segment net sales decreased $37.2 million because of decreases in our North American automotive market of $44.0 million, including lower demand for electronic and hybrid vehicle platforms and the impact of expected end of life production for certain programs, as well as decreases in our China commercial vehicle market of $3.2 million. These decreases were offset by increases in our China automotive, North American commercial vehicle and off highway markets of $2.6 million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The decreases were also offset by negotiated price increases of $1.2 million. In addition, net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $0.7 million.

Our Electronics segment net sales decreased $12.8 million primarily due to the 2023 impacts of both lower required electronic component spot buy purchases of $14.2 million, a reduction in retroactive price increases of $2.6 million, as well as lower sales in our European off-highway vehicle and agricultural markets of $3.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Offsetting these decreases were higher sales volumes in our European and North American commercial vehicle markets of $4.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In addition, we experienced higher sales volumes in our North American off-highway vehicle market of $2.2 million and favorable euro and Swedish krona foreign currency translation of $1.8 million compared to the prior year.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment net sales decreased because of lower sales of our OEM products, monitoring service fees and tracking devices offset by an increase in aftermarket product sales. In addition, net sales were adversely impacted by an increase in unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.8 million.

Total net sales	$	690,047	100.0	%	$	746,303	100.0	%	$	(56,256)	(7.5)	%

The decrease in North American net sales was mostly attributable to decreases in sales volume in our automotive market of $44.1 million primarily caused by lower customer volumes including electronic and hybrid vehicle platforms and the impact of expected end of life production for certain programs as well as the 2023 impact of required electronic component spot buy purchases of $2.4 million. These decreases were offset by higher sales volume in our North American off-highway and commercial vehicle markets of $4.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

The decrease in net sales in South America was primarily due to lower sales of our OEM products, monitoring service fees and tracking devices offset by an increase in aftermarket products. In addition, net sales were adversely impacted by an increase in unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.8 million.

The decrease in net sales in Europe and Other was due to 2023 required customer recoveries of electronic component spot buys of $11.7 million and the change in negotiated price increases of $1.5 million. In addition, we experienced decreases in our European off-highway and agriculture markets and China commercial vehicle markets of $3.3 million, $2.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively. These sales decreases were offset by increases in our European commercial vehicle market, including sales related to the launches of a European OEM MirrorEye program and our next generation tachograph, and China automotive markets of $4.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as well as favorable foreign currency translation of $1.1 million.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin. Cost of goods sold decreased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and our gross margin increased from 20.9% in the first nine months of 2023 to 21.2% in the first nine months of 2024. Our material cost as a percentage of net sales decreased from 59.6% in the first nine months of 2023 to 57.3% in the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in material cost percentage was partially due to the impact of 2023 required electronic component spot buy purchases, reimbursed by customers. The impact of these spot buy purchases increased cost of goods sold by $14.4 million, or 1.9% of sales, for the first nine months of 2023, which reduced gross margin percent by 0.4% in 2023. Other factors contributing to the reduction in material costs were favorable product mix, material cost improvements and a reduction in foreign exchange related material variances. Overhead as a percentage of net sales was 16.7% and 14.6% for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in overhead as a percentage of sales was attributable to higher overhead spending including higher warranty related expense and capitalized software development cost amortization as well as adverse leverage from lower sales levels.

Our Control Devices segment gross margin increased primarily as a result of favorable sales mix despite lower sales levels.

Our Electronics segment gross margin remained consistent because of the reduction of the adverse effect of required electronic component spot buy purchases, net of customer recoveries, favorable sales mix, material cost improvement actions and a reduction in foreign exchange related material variances.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment gross margin decreased primarily because of lower contribution on lower sales levels.

Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A expenses decreased by $2.6 million from a combination of lower consulting fees, business realignment costs and incentive compensation offset by higher self-insured medical costs and legal fees as well as a 2023 gain on the sale of fixed assets.

Design and Development. D&D costs decreased by $3.8 million from a reduction in launch activities that resulted in lower consulting, wages and recruiting being partially offset by lower capitalization of software development costs and customer reimbursements for our Electronics and Control Devices segments as well as higher Electronics business realignment costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary of Cash Flows:


Nine months ended September 30,	2024		2023
Net cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	28,517	$	(5,668)
Investing activities	(18,997)		(26,943)
Financing activities	4,133		15,534
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(356)		(963)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	13,297	$	(18,040)

Cash provided by operating activities increased compared to 2023 primarily due to a reduction in cash used to support working capital levels. Cash provided by receivables was favorable to 2023 as the result of lower sales levels while collection terms remained consistent. Cash provided by inventory improved from the prior year due to the ramp up of product launches occurring in the second half of 2023 and first half of 2024, and the impact of our inventory reduction actions.

Net cash used for investing activities decreased compared to 2023 due to lower capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs as well as the 2023 impact of cash proceeds from the sale of equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased compared to 2023 due to a decrease in Credit Facility borrowings net of repayments.

As outlined in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the Credit Facility permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $275.0 million. This variable rate facility has an accordion feature which allows the Company to increase its availability by up to $150.0 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender consent through its expiration in November 2026. The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain less than a maximum leverage ratio and more than a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are customary for credit arrangements of this type including covenants that place restrictions and/or limitations on the Company’s ability to borrow money, make capital expenditures and pay dividends. The Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $196.3 million at September 30, 2024.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company has not experienced a violation that would limit the Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility and does not expect that the covenants under it will restrict the Company’s financing flexibility. However, it is possible that future borrowing flexibility under the Credit Facility may be limited as a result of lower than expected financial performance due to the adverse impact of significantly lower global demand in our markets and challenging macroeconomic conditions. The Company expects to make additional repayments on the Credit Facility when cash exceeds the amount needed for operations and to remain in compliance with all covenants.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Stockholm, Sweden, has an overdraft credit line that allows overdrafts on the subsidiary’s bank account up to a daily maximum level of 20.0 million Swedish krona, or $2.0 million at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were no borrowings outstanding on this overdraft credit line. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the subsidiary borrowed and repaid 255.1 million Swedish krona, or $25.1 million.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Suzhou, China, had lines of credit that matured in August 2024 and allowed up to a maximum borrowing level of 20.0 million Chinese yuan, or $2.8 million at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023 there was $2.1 million in borrowings outstanding on the Suzhou credit line. The Suzhou credit line was included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within current portion of debt. In addition, the Suzhou subsidiary has a bank acceptance draft line of credit which facilitates the extension of trade payable payment terms by 180 days. The bank acceptance draft line of credit allows up to a maximum borrowing level of 60.0 million Chinese yuan, or $8.6 million and $8.5 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There was $0.0 million and $2.4 million utilized on the Suzhou bank acceptance draft line of credit at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Suzhou bank acceptance draft line of credit is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within accounts payable.

In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to make a $10.0 million investment in Autotech Fund II managed by Autotech, a venture capital firm focused on ground transportation technology. The Company’s $10.0 million investment in the Autotech Fund II will be contributed over the expected ten-year life of the fund. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cumulative investment in the Autotech Fund II was $8.7 million. The Company contributed $0.3 million and $0.2 million to Autotech Fund II during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Our future results could also be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have significant foreign denominated transaction exposure in certain locations, especially in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Sweden, Estonia, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and China. Currently, we have foreign currency forward contracts in place for Mexican pesos. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details. Our future results could also be unfavorably affected by increased commodity prices and material cost inflation as these fluctuations impact the cost of our raw material purchases.

At September 30, 2024, we had a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $54.1 million, of which 79.9% was held in foreign locations. The Company has approximately $78.7 million of undrawn commitments under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024, which results in total undrawn commitments and cash balances of more than $132.8 million. However, it is possible that future borrowing flexibility under our Credit Facility may be limited as a result of our financial performance.

The principal sources of liquidity available for our future cash requirements are expected to be (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) cash and cash equivalents on hand and (iii) borrowings from our Credit Facility. We believe that our overall liquidity and operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments during the next twelve months. While uncertainty surrounding the current economic environment could adversely impact our business, based on our current financial position, we believe it is unlikely that any such effects would preclude us from maintaining sufficient liquidity.

Commitments and Contingencies

See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosures of the Company’s commitments and contingencies.

Seasonality

Our Control Devices and Electronics segments are moderately seasonal, impacted by mid-year and year-end shutdowns and the ramp-up of new model production at key customers. In addition, the demand for our Stoneridge Brazil segment consumer products is generally higher in the second half of the year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s critical accounting policies, which include management’s best estimates and judgments, are included in Part II, Item 7, to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. These accounting policies are considered critical as disclosed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K because of the potential for a significant impact on the financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in such estimates. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the third quarter of 2024.

Information regarding other significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

International Presence

By operating internationally, we are affected by foreign currency exchange rates and the economic conditions of certain countries. Furthermore, given the current economic climate and fluctuations in certain commodity prices, we believe that an increase in such items could significantly affect our profitability. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on the Company’s foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risk from those previously presented within Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II–OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in certain legal actions and claims primarily arising in the ordinary course of business. We establish accruals for matters that we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, we do not believe that any of the litigation in which we are currently engaged, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position or results of operations. We are subject to litigation regarding civil, labor, regulatory and other tax contingencies in our Stoneridge Brazil segment that we believe the likelihood of loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, although these claims might take years to resolve. We are also subject to product liability and product warranty claims. In addition, if any of our products prove to be defective, we may be required to participate in a government-imposed or customer OEM-instituted recall involving such products. There can be no assurance that we will not experience any material losses related to product liability, warranty or recall claims. See additional details of these matters in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Hierna de Werkgever of de Vennootschap genoemd;			Hereafter referred to as the Employer or the Company;

EN:			AND:

Mevrouw Natalia Noblet			Ms Natalia Noblet
wonende te [address];			domiciled at [address];

Hierna de Werknemer genoemd,			Hereafter referred to as the Employee,

Hierna gezamenlijk de Partijen genoemd en elk afzonderlijk een Partij.			Hereafter jointly referred to as the Parties and each individually as a Party.


WORDT HET VOLGENDE OVEREENGEKOMEN:			IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Artikel 1.Functie en taken			Article 1.Function and tasks
1.1De Werkgever werft de Werknemer voltijds aan in de hoedanigheid van President van Stoneridge Electronics, geclassificeerd als een Section 16 Officer.			1.1The Employer hires the Employee on a full-time basis in the capacity of President of Stoneridge Electronics, classified as a Section 16 Officer.
1.2Partijen erkennen en aanvaarden dat het, gelet op de functie uitgeoefend door de Werknemer, onmogelijk is om een opsomming te geven van de taken van de Werknemer en dat alle taken die rechtstreeks of onrechtstreeks nuttig zijn voor de uitoefening van de functie deel uitmaken van de werkzaamheden van de Werknemer.			1.2Parties acknowledge and agree that, taking into account the function of the Employee, it is impossible to give an enumeration of the tasks of the Employee, and that all tasks directly or indirectly useful for the performance of the function, will be a part of the Employee’s tasks.
1.3De functie en taken van de Werknemer kunnen door de Werkgever worden aangepast om rekening te houden met de ontwikkeling van de Vennootschap en haar activiteiten. Partijen erkennen en aanvaarden dat, gezien de door de Werknemer uitgeoefende functie, flexibiliteit noodzakelijk is wat betreft de taken en verantwoordelijkheden. De Werknemer gaat ermee akkoord dat de Werkgever in functie van de noodwendigheden van de Vennootschap dienvolgens aan de Werknemer andere taken en verantwoordelijkheden kan opleggen voor zover deze verband houden met de kwalificaties of met de ervaring van de Werknemer en geen vermindering met zich brengen van het salaris waarop de Werknemer recht heeft.			1.3The function and tasks of the Employee can be adapted by the Employer in order to take into account the development of the Company and of its activities. Parties agree and accept that, taking into account the function of the Employee, flexibility with regard to the tasks and responsibilities is required. The Employee agrees that depending on the needs of the Employer, the Employer can therefore impose other tasks and responsibilities upon the Employee in so far as these are related to the qualifications or experience of the Employee, and do not result in a decrease of the remuneration the Employee is entitled to.

Page 1 of 16


1.4De Werknemer aanvaardt uitdrukkelijk dat geen enkele van de hiervoor bedoelde wijzigingen van de taken of verantwoordelijkheden door de Werkgever kan aanzien worden als zijnde een wijziging van een essentieel bestanddeel van de Arbeidsovereenkomst.			1.4The Employee explicitly accepts that the modifications of the tasks and responsibilities as mentioned above by the Employer cannot be considered as a modification of an essential feature of this Employment Contract.
1.5Partijen erkennen en aanvaarden uitdrukkelijk dat de Werknemer een leidinggevende functie of een vertrouwenspost bekleedt in de zin van het Koninklijk Besluit van 10 februari 1965 en dat de Werknemer bijgevolg niet is onderworpen aan de bepalingen van de wet van 16 maart 1971 betreffende de arbeidsduur. Uren die gepresteerd zouden worden bovenop of buiten het werkrooster dat van toepassing is voor de Werknemer zullen dus geen recht geven op de betaling van overuren en/of de toekenning van inhaalrust. Het hierna overeengekomen salaris waarop de Werknemer recht heeft, dekt alle prestaties.			1.5The Parties explicitly acknowledge and agree that the Employee is entrusted with managerial or supervisory functions in the sense of the Royal Decree of 10 February 1965 and that therefore, the Employee is not subject to the rules set out by the Labour Act of 16 March 1971 regarding working time. Work hours performed in addition to or after the regular working hours will therefore not grant any entitlement of payment of overtime pay and/or compensatory rest. The salary agreed upon below compensates all and any of the work and activities.

Artikel 2.Plaats van tewerkstelling			Article 2.Workplace
2.1Gelet op de door de Werknemer uitgeoefende functie, aanvaarden en erkennen de Partijen dat ook flexibiliteit is vereist wat betreft de plaats van tewerkstelling. De Werknemer gaat ermee akkoord om in principe de activiteiten onder deze Arbeidsovereenkomst uit te oefenen op haar woonplaats, maar tevens op elke andere plaats die door de Werkgever zal worden aangegeven.			2.1Given the Employee’s function, Parties accept and agree that flexibility with regard to the location of the workplace is required as well. The Employee agrees to perform the duties under this Employment Contract in principle at her home office, but also at any other location that will be indicated by the Employer.
2.2De Werknemer aanvaardt uitdrukkelijk dat de plaats van tewerkstelling geen essentieel bestanddeel is van de Arbeidsovereenkomst.			2.2The Employee explicitly accepts that the location of the workplace does not constitute an essential feature of the Employment Contract.

Artikel 3.Arbeidstijd			Article 1.Working time
3.1Gelet op de leidinggevende functie of vertrouwenspost van de Werknemer, zoals bedoeld in artikel 1.5 van de Arbeidsovereenkomst, zal zij de arbeidstijd verrichten die nodig is voor de goede uitoefening van haar functie en haar verantwoordelijkheden onder deze Arbeidsovereenkomst.			3.1Considering the Employee’s managerial or supervisory function, as referred to in Article 1.5 of the Employment Contract, she shall perform the working time that is required for the proper execution of her function and her responsibilities pursuant to this Employment Contract.
3.2Partijen komen overeen dat dit in beginsel minimum 38 uur tijdens “normale’ kantooruren zal bedragen.			3.2Parties agree that this shall in principle represent at least 38 hours during ‘regular’ business hours.

Artikel 4.Duur van de Arbeidsovereenkomst			Article 4.Duration of the Employment Contract
4.1De Werkgever neemt de Werknemer in dienst vanaf 2 september 2024.			4.1The Employer hires the Employee as from 2 September 2024.
4.2Deze Arbeidsovereenkomst wordt aangegaan voor onbepaalde duur.			4.2This Employment Contract is entered into for an indefinite period.
4.3Behoudens in geval van dringende reden, kan geen enkele Partij deze Arbeidsovereenkomst verbreken zonder geldige opzegging conform het Belgisch recht.			4.3Except in case of a gross misconduct, no Party can terminate this Employment Contract without a valid notice in accordance with the Belgian legislation.
4.4In geval van beëindiging van de Arbeidsovereenkomst door de Werkgever zal de			4.4In the event of termination of the Employment Contract by the Employer, the notice

opzeggingstermijn 12 maanden bedragen, onder voorbehoud van gunstigere wettelijke bepalingen. In geval van beëindiging van de Arbeidsovereenkomst door de Werknemer zal de opzeggingstermijn 6 maanden bedragen.			period will be equal to 12 months, subject to more favourable legal provisions. In the event of termination of the Employment Contract by the Employee, the notice period will be equal to 6 months.
4.5De Werknemer komt in aanmerking voor deelname in het Executive Severance Plan, dat apart wordt overgemaakt en dat geldt onder voorbehoud van toepasselijk recht.			4.5The Employee is eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Plan, which will be provided separately and which will apply subject to applicable law.
4.6De Werknemer komt in aanmerking voor een Change In Control Agreement, die apart zal worden overgemaakt en die zal gelden onder voorbehoud van toepasselijk recht.			4.6The Employee is also eligible to a Change In Control Agreement, which will be provided separately and which will apply subject to applicable law.

Artikel 5.Salaris en vakantiegeld			Article 5.Salary and holiday pay
5.1Het bruto maandsalaris van de Werknemer bedraagt 27.729,86 EUR, maandelijks betaalbaar bij het verstrijken van elke maand door storting op de bankrekening die door de Werknemer aan de Werkgever zal worden aangeduid.			5.1The Employee’s gross fixed monthly salary amounts to EUR 27,729.86, payable on a monthly basis after the end of every month, by wire transfer to the bank account that will be indicated by the Employee to the Employer.

5.4De Werkgever zal eveneens het vakantiegeld betalen, berekend overeenkomstig het Belgisch recht.			5.4The Employer will also pay the holiday pay, calculated in accordance with Belgian law.
5.5Het totale bruto basisjaarloon van de Werknemer (maandloon, dertiende maand en vakantiegeld) bedraagt bijgevolg 386.000 EUR.			5.5The Employee’s total gross annual base salary (monthly salary, thirteenth month and holiday pay) is therefore equal to EUR 386,000.
5.6De brutobedragen zullen worden betaald na aftrek van de sociale en fiscale lasten, persoonlijke bijdragen in de groepsverzekering zoals voorzien in Artikel 8, en eventueel van andere wettelijke inhoudingen.			5.6The gross amounts will be paid after deduction of social security contributions, income tax, personal contributions to the group insurance referred to in Article 8, and other possible legal withholdings.

7.4De Werknemer komt in aanmerking voor een Special Equity Grant van tijdgebonden Stoneridge aandelen ter waarde van 150.000$, toe te kennen binnen één (1) week na de startdatum zoals bedoeld in artikel 4.1 van deze Arbeidsovereenkomst en die verworven zal zijn (zal “vesten”) twee (2) jaar na de toekenningsdatum op voorwaarde dat de Werknemer op die datum nog in dienst zal zijn van de Vennootschap.			7.4The Employee will be eligible for a Special Equity Grant of time-based Stoneridge shares equivalent to USD $150,000, to be granted within one (1) week of the start date as referred to in Article 4.1 of this Employment Contract and to vest two (2) years from the grant date provided that the Employee will on that date still be in service of the Company.
7.5Partijen komen overeen dat gratificaties, premies of welke andere voordelen met inbegrip van de bonus bedoeld in dit artikel, andere dan degene voorzien door wettelijke of reglementaire bepalingen, door de Werkgever onder welke vorm of benaming dan ook occasioneel of op het einde van het jaar toegekend, enkel een vrijgevigheid zijn en aan de Werknemer geen enkel recht toekennen voor de toekomst en dit zelfs niet als ze op regelmatige basis worden toegekend. Hun toekenning kan dus door de Werkgever op elk ogenblik worden gewijzigd, geschorst of afgeschaft.			7.5Parties agree that all gratifications, premiums or any other benefits including the bonus mentioned in this article, other than those provided for in statutory law or regulations, granted by the Employer in any form or under any name whatsoever, occasionally or at the end of the year, constitute a mere gift. They do not entail any future right for the Employee and this even if they have been granted on a regular basis. The Employer may therefore alter, suspend or stop their allocation at any time.
7.6Onder voorbehoud van andersluidende bepalingen van dwingend recht, zijn alle gratificaties, premies, bonussen of voordelen niet pro rata temporis betaalbaar.			7.6Unless provided otherwise by mandatory statutory law, none of the above-mentioned gratifications, premiums, bonuses or benefits are payable pro rata.
De Werknemer zal slechts recht hebben op deze gratificaties, premies, bonussen of voordelen en toekenningen die onderhavig zijn aan een “vesting”mechanisme zullen slechts verworven worden, op voorwaarde dat de Werknemer in dienst is van de Werkgever op het ogenblik waarop ze normaal betaalbaar zijn of, volgens een “vesting”mechanisme verworven worden. Partijen komen uitdrukkelijk overeen dat deze voorwaarde een opschortende voorwaarde uitmaakt in de zin van artikel 5.139 en volgenden van het Burgerlijk Wetboek.			The Employee will only be entitled to these gratifications, premiums, bonuses or benefits, and grants that are subject to a vesting mechanism shall only vest, provided that the Employee is in service of the Employer on the date on which they shall normally be payable or on which they shall normally vest. Parties explicitly agree that this condition constitutes a condition precedent within the meaning of Article 5.139 and following of the Civil Code.

21.2De Werknemer dient de interne richtlijnen met betrekking tot het gebruik van elektronische briefwisseling en internet binnen de Vennootschap te respecteren.			21.2The Employee has to comply with the internal guidelines with respect to the use of email and internet applicable within the Company.
De Werknemer zal niet proberen zich toegang te verschaffen tot persoonlijke data in informaticabestanden of in papieren van de Werkgever of deze aan anderen (al dan niet tewerkgesteld door de Werkgever) te onthullen, behalve in de mate dat hiertoe door de Werkgever schriftelijk toelating werd verleend.			The Employee will not attempt to access the personal data stored in the electronic files or in the paper files of the Employer or to disclose them to third parties (employed or not by the Employer), unless if the Employer has given a written permission to that effect.
De Werknemer mag geen bestanden of folders in gelijk welke vorm uitwissen of vernietigen zonder hiertoe gemachtigd te zijn door de Werkgever.			The Employee will not delete or destroy any files or folders in whatever form without due permission of the Employer.
21.3De Werknemer zal private e-mails laten verlopen via een persoonlijk e-mailadres (genre Hotmail), en niet via het e-mailadres dat door de Werkgever aan de Werknemer ter beschikking wordt gesteld.			21.3The Employee will send his private emails via a personal email address (such as Hotmail) and not via the email address which is made available to the Employee by the Employer.
Het gebruik van het e-mailsysteem van de Werkgever voor private e-mails is verboden. Aldus wordt ervan uitgegaan dat alle e-mails die via dit e-mailsysteem verlopen, een beroepskarakter hebben.			The use of the email system of the Employer for private purposes is prohibited. The Employer therefore assumes that all emails, which are sent via this email system, are of a professional nature.
21.4Bij geplande afwezigheid, zal de Werknemer de functie “afwezigheidsassistent” van zijn mailbox instellen. Bij niet-geplande afwezigheid van de Werknemer, zal de hiërarchische overste van de Werknemer de “afwezigheidsassistent” van de mailbox van de Werknemer instellen. In beide gevallen zal in het automatisch antwoord aan de afzender de hiërarchische overste van de Werknemer worden vermeld als te contacteren persoon.			21.4In case of planned absence, the Employee will activate the “out of office assistant” of his mailbox. In case of non-planned absence, the Employee’s immediate supervisor will activate the “out of office assistant” of the mailbox of the Employee. In both cases, the Employee’s immediate supervisor will be mentioned in the automatic reply to the sender as the contact person.

Artikel 24.Gebruik			Article 24.Usages
Partijen komen overeen dat het gebruik of de gewoonte in hun arbeidsrelatie niet zal gelden als bron van rechten en verplichtingen van de Partijen, en dit ongeacht de vraag of dergelijk gebruik in strijd is of zou kunnen zijn met andere rechtsbronnen die in de arbeidsrelatie van Partijen van toepassing zijn.

25.2Indien enige bepaling van onderhavige Arbeidsovereenkomst nietig of ongeldig zou verklaard worden, zullen de overige bepalingen hierdoor niet aangetast worden.			25.2If any provision of this Employment Contract is declared null and void, the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby.
Partijen zullen zich inspannen om de nietige of ongeldige bepaling te vervangen door een geldige bepaling, waarvan de uitwerking zo dicht mogelijk aanleunt bij de beoogde uitwerking van de nietige of ongeldige bepaling.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, companies are required to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be adopted on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our annual consolidated financial statement disclosures.

The effective tax rate of (59.1)% varies from the statutory rate primarily due to U.S. taxes on foreign earnings and non-deductible expenses offset by the impact of tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions and tax credits and incentives. The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) implemented a 15% global corporate minimum tax ("Pillar Two") to ensure that large multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax in the countries they operate. During 2023, many countries took steps to incorporate Pillar Two into their domestic laws. In 2024, we do not expect a material change to our income tax provision in connection with Pillar Two. As additional jurisdictions implement this legislation, our effective tax rate and cash tax payments could increase in future years.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, companies are required to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be adopted on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our annual consolidated financial statement disclosures.
